[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have just come across a new russian 20mm Russar lens with viewfinder in the local chinese nightmarket. They are asking RM600 which is about £150 or US$230. Mr Small, the great authority on all things non leica, has already very kindly assisted me in identifying the said lens, but has anybody experience of using one of these on a screwmount Leica. Gary T also made a lusting reference to it in a recent posting on Jupiter lenses - have you evere tried one Gary? Any views regarding its performance vis a vis sharpness contrast etc would be greatly appreciated? also is that a reasonable price or would I find one cheaper in London (where I will be in a couple of weeks).
